Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Created the android app I wanted for Frigate, want to test?English
21·11 days agoThe links are dead for me, maybe it’s set to private? The first one doesn’t open anything, and the second one takes me to a login page

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•If I have some spare compute, are there ways I can use it to help an existing fediverse instance?English
61·16 days agoThat might be interesting! If you build on this idea, it would be cool to see ping times with location data, so instance operators can see what the performance is like with real world data. That was something we were concerned about when trying out different alternatives when leaving CloudFlare.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he didEnglish
801·21 days agoI think the original title was more helpful because it shows that this is a recent development. Maybe you can add “new CEO”?
Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down
In February, longtime CEO Michael Crandell moved to an advisory role, according to LinkedIn, with no announcement from the company. His replacement, Michael Sullivan, former CEO of both Acquia and Insightsoftware, touts his experience with “all facets of mergers and acquisitions” on his own LinkedIn page, including experience working with leading private equity firms.
CFO Stephen Morrison also left Bitwarden in April, replaced by former InVision CEO Michael Shenkman. Both Crandell and Morrison joined the company in 2019. Kyle Spearrin, who started Bitwarden as a fun hobby project in 2015, remains the company’s CTO.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How do you feel about distributing small Linux tools via GitHub and Gumroad?
3·1 month agoWhat if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example
I cross posted this to !selfhosted@lemmy.world, I hope that was ok! I figured it would be good to spread the knowledge

Linux@lemmy.ml•I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternative
13·1 month agoWhy don’t you just implement federation normally instead of taking this roundabout way of doing things? As long as your site contributes content back, and makes it clear where content is from, other projects like piefed and lemmy would be happy to have your project join the network.
Continuing like this will likely get you IP blocked from wherever you’re mirroring content from.
Also these platforms are open source. You are allowed to copy and modify things for your own projects, as long as you follow the basic rules in the license.
Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated
Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•GitHub - damontecres/Wholphin: An OSS Android TV client for JellyfinEnglish
2·2 months agoNice, I had no idea
I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin
- Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
- Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others
I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•GitHub - damontecres/Wholphin: An OSS Android TV client for JellyfinEnglish
6·2 months agoNeat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?
Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use
A few months later it is then
Thank you!
I was curious about what parts of it felt alpha, whether it’s the power user features vs basic browsing.
I’ll just try it later and report back 😄
Well that’s not great :(
Using it very briefly I’d say it’s more like Alpha currently…
Is it usable as a daily browser, or should I wait a few more months before trying it out?
Edit: see the reply on my comment
I’m not sure if I understood this criticism. The Reddit thread links to this page:https://web.archive.org/web/20251203060750/https://kagi.com/changelog#5340
Our image search became even better with the inclusion of two more sources: Yandex Image Search (widely recognized as one of best image search services) and Openverse (vast collection of openly licensed images). Kagi is doing the hard work so that you don’t have to.
Are they financially supporting or sponsoring Yandex in some other way?
To me, this sounds like they added the option to run an image search on Yandex? I use a browser extension for image searches that has a number of options including Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, Sogou, etc., and users are free to choose which ones they want to try searching on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/
I also remember seeing Bellingcat (who has done excellent investigative reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) using Yandex tools to gather information because it has information on the region that other English/Chinese focused tools don’t.
I don’t doubt that Yandex tries to manipulate information in favor of the government in Russia. Rather with the right browser protections, someone can take advantage of their free tools and cost Yandex money without Yandex benefiting from it. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for Kagi to let people do that?
Fingerprint readers and touchscreens can be hit or miss for Linux support.
I think this is a list of supported readers. When you get a shortlist of devices you want to purchase, compare its fingerprint reader with this list: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html

Out of curiosity, is there any standard or common format around location data for Fediverse platforms?
